Miami Hurricanes Ranked 14th After Bye Week
stateoftheu

With former Hurricane quarterback, Mark Richt leading the program Miami football finds themselves back in the AP poll for the first time since 2013. The Hurricanes are now 3-0 and up to No. 15 in the polls. Richt said about the ranking, “It’s good for recruiting. The ESPN ticker is going to show what’s going on with the top 15 over and over. Right now, it’s not a bad place to be.’’

Last Saturday Miami trounced Appalachian State 45-10 and they have this weekend off before starting conference play. On October 1 the Hurricanes will head into Dodd Stadium to face off against the undefeated Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

Junior quarterback Brad Kaaya had his best game of the season against Appalachian State completing 21 of 27 passes for 368 yards and three touchdowns. It was Kaaya's eighth time throwing for over 300 yards in his career and the 49th career touchdown which moved up into a tie for third all-time at Miami.

Game-By-Game Predictions For Rest of Season

Oct 1 at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

The Yellow Jackets are currently 3-0 but Mark Richt is 8-0 against the Yellow Jackets at Dodd Stadium. Miami can't allow Georgia Tech to control the clock all game with their option offense.

Miami 31 Georgia Tech 17

Oct. 8 vs Florida State Seminoles

Miami hasn't beaten Florida State since 2009 but this year the streak will finally end.

Miami 38 Florida State 35

Oct.15 North Carolina Tar Heels

After a big win against FSU, the Hurricanes can't afford a letdown

Miami 34 North Carolina 27

Oct. 20 at Virginia Tech Hokies

Going into Lane Stadium and getting a win isn't an easy task but this Miami team is loaded on offense and should be able to make some explosive plays against a shaky Hokie defense.

Miami 24 VA Tech 10

Oct.29 at Notre Dame Fighting Irish

The Catholics vs Convicts rivalry returns for 2016 season and I'm predicting this to be the Hurricanes first loss of the season.

Notre Dame 41 Miami 28

Nov.5 vs Pittsburgh Panthers

Following their first loss of the season, the Hurricanes will return home to blow out the Panthers.

Miami 42 Pittsburgh 14

Nov. 12 at Virginia Cavaliers

So far this season UVA has won a game and when they meet the Hurricanes in November they may still be winless. The Hurricanes will go into Charlottesville, Va and dominate the Wahoos.

Miami 38 Virginia 7

Nov. 19 at North Carlina State Wolfpack

Its the second to last week of the regular season and the Hurricanes are clicking on all cylinders.

Miami 45 NC State 24

Nov.26 vs Duke Blue Devils

Last season this game produced one of the most memorable endings to a college football game ever with Miami lateralling the ball eight times before scoring on the final play.

Miami 27 Duke 21

Dec. 3 ACC Championship Game

Right now Miami looks like the best team in the Coastal division if they are able to keep it up they will be at the ACC Championship Game in December playing either Clemson or Louisville.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
